Java

A number of applications used at the University (including Advantage, Nolij, FootPrints, and WebCampus) rely on Java to provide their services. Unfortunately, Java appears to want to update frequently, and various web browsers have started to block Java applications by default. This means that we recommend you are aware of the steps to take to unblock your applications, and the troubleshooting steps you should take to ensure your applications run smoothly.

Why can't we have the latest version of Java?

Information on why University-owned computers may not have the latest version of Java can be found on our Software page.
